The Chance To Be Part Of
History: A380 First Flight Charity Auction Starts Monday |
|
|
The Singapore Airlines A380 First Flight
Charity Auction begins on Monday, and everyone will have an opportunity
to participate in this unprecedented event. |
|
The Singapore Airlines A380 flies its First
Flight from Singapore to Sydney on Thursday 25 October and the return
leg on Friday 26 October. |
|
A majority of seats on both legs of the
First Flight will be auctioned on eBay, the global online marketplace,
progressively over two weeks from Monday evening (Singapore time), 27
August 2007. |
|
To mark the launch of the new A380, the
starting prices will be: |
| Economy Class |
US$3.80 |
| Business
Class |
US$38.00 |
| Singapore
Airlines Suites |
US$380.00 |
|
|
To bid, you will need: |
- An eBay user ID … it’s free and
easy to get on ebay.com. (Once you sign up for an eBay user ID,
you can easily learn how to bid and how the eBay bid system
works);
- The names and passport numbers
of those travelling;
- For bids on packages in the
premium classes (Business & Suites), or bids over USD1,000 in
Economy Class, pre-qualification will be required. This ensures
bids are not artificially inflated, and gives bidders confidence
they are bidding only against genuine and pre-qualified bidders
|
|
Prequalification is initiated online.
Singapore Airlines’ global auction management agency, Auctionwire,
has developed numerous ways for bidders to pre-qualify and lodge
security deposits for bids requiring pre-qualification. |
|
All information on packages available,
bidder prequalification, how to get an eBay user ID and how to bid
in the auction is available on the Singapore Airlines website,
singaporeair.com/a380. |
|
100% of the proceeds of the auction
will be donated to charities. They are: |
- One-third to Singapore’s
Community Chest
- One-third split between the
Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, and The Children’s
Hospital at Westmead, both in Sydney
- One-third to
Médecins Sans Frontières, also known as Doctors Without Borders.
